YoYoFactory’s bearing seats are tight, so it is really normal. ---

The squeaking is normal. the axle changing sides is also normal. The yoyo coming apart is your fault for not tightening it enough. I’ve done that too though. ---

if dont want the axle to come off again i do this. i chuck it in a drill with the axle on the side of the yoyo u want it on. then tighten the drill. after that i twist the yoyo half lightly until it stops and it will not come out again. disclaimer try at ur own risk i am not responsible to any damage. ( dont tighten the drill so much that the axle is flatened ---

putting a tiny bit of loctite on the axle will keep it from screwing. They’ll have it at the hardware store. [http://www.loctiteproducts.com/products/detail.asp%3Fcatid=10&subid=48&plid=153](http://www.loctiteproducts.com/products/detail.asp%3Fcatid=10&subid=48&plid=153) ---

Notice that the loctite is the blue #242. That is very important. If you get the red then you may not ever get it back out without changing the tensile strength. ---
